IMPROVEMENT IN CIGAR-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,685, dated October29, 1872.

The body A of the said holder consists of a tube having a half-circlebend, a, so as to bring a portion, 1), of the tube into parallelism witha portion, 0, the said part 0 being about double the length of the partb and provided with a tubular mouth-piece, B, screwed upon it at oneend, as shown. The other extremity of the tube terminates ina pivotedteat, O, which extends from the branch or part b at a right anglethereto. The branch or part b may be bent around so as to bring the teatinto parallelism with it in manner as shown in Fig. 4, which is a sideview of the cigar-holder in the modified form, as described. Thebranches 1) 0 support a side clasp, D, formed as shown, which embracesboth of the branches 1) c, and is capable of being moved on the part c,entirely in rear as well as in front of the teat. At the lower part ofthe branch 0 is an educt, d, provided with a screw, 6, and a shoulder,f, a washer, g, being placed on the screw and against the shoulder. Asmall hollow globe or chambered handle, E, is screwed upon the educt,which opens directly into the chamber h of the handle. There are one ormore holes, 1', leading laterally out of the teat 0.

On inserting the teat into a cigar and sliding the clasp D upon thelatter, so as to encompass and grasp it, the said cigar will be dulyapplied to the holder. By having the clasp supported by the branch I) aswell as by the branch 0 the cigar will be eifectually prevented fromrevolving or turning upon the teat, and, besides, will be held firmlythereupon. Instead of the mouth-piece being separable from the tube A,it may be permanently fixed thereto or make part thereof; but it is farpreferable to have it separable.

On firing the cigar at its front end and introducing the mouth-piece orrear end of the tube A between the lips. of a smoker, such cigar may besmoked by him without contact of it'with his lips. The nicotic vapors oroil that may form in the tube will run through the educt into the handleor reservoir thereof, so as not to gather in the tube and materiallyobstruct its bore.

I claim- In the cigar-holder, as described, the tube A, bent andprovided with the teat O, as described, in combination with theslide-clasp D, as applied to the parts b c of such tube, in. manner andto operate therewith as specified.

2. The hollow globe or receiver E, the adjustable clasp D, the pointedteat O, and the tube A, allconstructed and arranged in manner and tooperate substantially as specified,

such tube being provided with either permanent or a separablemouth-piece, as set forth.
